  <p>This page contains information about the FreeBSD port to HP/Compaq Alpha
    systems.</p>

  <h3>Status</h3>

  <p>As of FreeBSD 7.0, support for the Alpha platform has been
    removed.  The development of new Alpha systems has been discontinued by
    the hardware vendor; this combined with the widespread deployment of
    more mainstream 64-bit platforms, such as the AMD64 and Intel EM64T
    architectures, has resulted in significantly reduced user and developer
    community interest.</p>

  <h3>FreeBSD/alpha mailing list</h3>

  <p>Because of the dropped support for the Alpha plattform the mailing list
    <em>freebsd-alpha</em> has been closed.  Although it is no
    longer possible to send messages to this mailing list, the archives can
    still be <a
    href="https://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists">searched</a>
    or <a
    href="https://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/freebsd-alpha.html">browsed</a>.</p>
